I think many people noticed it, but nobody seems to care, not even on 
bugs.kde.org. The default Fonts in KDE are not very well choosen. 

There are two problems:

1.) They point to values that are either not installed on many systems or not 
Antialiaseable. This is why many people think their Fonts are broken, but 
they are not. Just the Defaults are broken. A very easy fix for this to 
change the default values to "sans", "serif" and "monotype", so fontconfig 
can take care of it. If this raises Problems on distributions without 
fontconfig (any distribution out there without fontconfig? i don't think so) 
we can put ifdefs around this.

2.) The size of the fonts is to big. I propose to reduce it to 10points.

For initial patches you can also take a look at bug #98392.

mfg, heinrich :-)
